OPI Party In My Cabana / Review and Swatches

Well hello, hello loves! How was your
weekend, hope you had a lovely time? I finally arrived at the seaside and so
far I’m having a blast! I’m trying to relax as much as possible and to catch up
on some of my favorite reads. :) While I was packing for this trip, I had a
look into my makeup collection and decided to take two nail polishes with me.
The obvious one is Essie Cute as a Button (review here) and the other one is this gorgeous shade by OPI. I love them both
for the summer and I figured that since I still haven’t reviewed this one, now
it’s a good time to do so.

Party In My Cabana has a very special place
in my life because I connect it with some amazing memories (am I the only one
who does that?) and I really cherish it greatly. For starters, how adorable is
the name?! It’s so summery and happy. It reminds me of the amazing beach-y
summer evening we all know and love! :) Apart from that, the beautiful muted
pink shade is right up my street and actually could be worn all year round, I
feel like. I know it’s nothing special and we’ve all seen this shade before in
many other brands and collections but I still adore it. I like how it looks on
my cool-toned skin but I am pretty sure it would look even prettier on
worm-toned girls. I know it’s pretty hard to find a nice pink polish that
compliments wormer tones but I believe that this one is a great option. There
isn’t any shimmer or glitter in the polish and it has a beautiful creamy
finish. It is really glossy and I don’t need to apply top coat to get it as
shiny as I like.

As far as the formula goes, Party In My
Cabana is perfect. It is not watery, as some of my other OPI nail polishes and
it’s just perfect and so easy to apply. It is not gloopy and it glides on the
nail like charm. The brush is the standard OPI brush, which is not my favorite
(I prefer Essie’s) but it works and prevents from streaking. Party In My Cabana
is very opaque and you can get away with just one coat but I like to go with
two, just in case. :) The staying power is also wonderful – it lasts for some
good 5-6 days on me without chipping and with teeny tiny tip wear. Oh, forgot
to mention that the polish dries out really fast and it’s completely
hustle-free.

In a nutshell, Party In My Cabana is all
rounder for me. The shade is lovely and would suit everyone, plus it’s a great
alternative to the typical bright pink, which makes it much more classy and
elegant. The formula is lovely as well and the staying power is impressive! If
you are an OPI gal and you’re on a hunt for a new asset in your collection,
than I can recommend Party In My Cabana with all my heart. Have a great week
everyone! <3
